Resumen
The aim of this paper is to analyze the relation between economic growth and labor market dynamics in Brazil between 1981 and 2009, making a comparison with the United States. Among the findings, one can mention that economic growth in Brazil has been related to a massive incorporation of labor force in labor intensive activities, whereas, in the United States, to a substantial improvement of labor productivity in high-technology activities. Despite the favorable economic context in the 2000s, huge inequalities between these countries have widened since the structure of the Brazilian labor market remained with few or no changes. 34 2 212 229 Arbache, J., "Transformação demográfica e competitividade internacional da economia brasileira" (2011) Revista do BNDES, (36), pp. 365-392 Ark, B.V., Issues in measurement and international comparison issues of productivity - an overview (1996) Industry Productivity: International Comparison and Measurement Issues, , OECD, October Barros, R.P., Carvalho, M.D., Franco, S., Mendonça, R., Rosalém, A., Sobre a evolução recente da pobreza e da desigualdade no Brasil" (2011) Situação Social Brasileira: Monitoramento das Condições de Vida, 1, pp. 41-64. , J.
